hey kashyap!
well seems that u are an aspirant like me to joing the defence.
when did u apply for the scc?
have u got the call letter?
when is the next scc is scheduled?
can u please update me.
well just to solve ur quer.i have got friends in air force both as medical officer and flying officers at good rank.
medical officers are having very good life out there but the only problem is that the posting sometimes comes at very odd places where there is no life at all.
and the income and facilities wise its also good but the exposure is very less coz th eturn of patient is less at a air force station and the multispecilaity centres are only in main centres like delhi ,jaipur and few other.
so the exposure is less as compared to a medical officer in other private hospital.
hope this will b ok with u
take care
